I was having high hopes of seeing Atletico madrid took down Inter Milan in this round, but after seeing the first game and the lasts games played by the Atletico Madrid is being more and more difficult to see it happening.

They are not playing good in LaLiga also.

La Liga teams comes for the UEFA Champions League title but they're not getting it because the promising clubs are yet to be decided. Don't ever place your trust on these elite teams because the results they eventually generate appears to be inconsistent and confusing most times. For illustration, the exact scenario of Atletico Madrid, they won Real Betis 2-1 and lost to Cadiz 2-0 which is very confusing result. An elite team will not always be in good form this season, rather there are many more actions to be triggered with these teams.

Among the La Liga clubs, Real Madrid and Barcelona have not fared very well in the Champions League, apart from the two teams that are definitely eligible for the Champions League. If we talk about Atlético Madrid, then I will say that this team's record in the Champions League is not very good. Real Madrid has won the most number of Champions League trophies from La Liga so far and this team is one of the favorites to win the Champions League trophy in the current season as well. It is certainly a failure for Barcelona that they have not won the Champions League trophy in the last few seasons. There was a time when Barcelona and Real Madrid used to compete in tournaments like the Champions League and the competition we still remember but we don't see anymore. Real Madrid are in the same position, but Barcelona have dropped far below their position.

The conditions of Real Madrid and Barcelona are different, unlike before when Real Madrid still had quality players like Ronaldo and Barcelona still had Messi and now everything is gone but Real Madrid has not lost its glory days, it only needs some high quality players to get its glory days but Barcelona It will be a little difficult to get out of this downturn as long as there are no big investors who can provide large funds to make big changes to the players because quality players are very important for Barcelona's future.
Real Madrid may be one of the favorites in the CL title competition but we have to look at other clubs like Manchester City who are currently really ready to get another title like last season because this club has no shortage of players and even looks very complete and certain in terms of Real Madrid's performance will not be strong enough to compete with Manchester City.

Atletico Madrid may look very ready against all odds but to beat Inter Milan and qualify for the next round is not an easy task because Inter Milan's current state is really very strong and not only in Series A but in the CL they also have a very strong performance. Even though they were only able to get 1 aggregate score, just look at Inter who will win in the second leg.

After Cristiano Ronaldo left Real Madrid, Real Madrid filled his place with other young players but the void left by Messi from Barcelona has not been filled till now. They let go of Lionel Messi due to the financial crisis at Barcelona, although they have since managed to make several signings. The reason for Barcelona's financial crisis is that they could not buy players with a proper plan. They couldn't buy players with proper planning and the players they spent extra money on didn't perform for the team and due to injury problems they had to release them on free which led to Barcelona's financial problems which are still ongoing. We know that if good quality players are appointed in Barcelona again then this team will perform well again but how they will remove this financial problem and hire good quality players in their team is a big question.
